- HEOS 3

Compact speaker delivering big HEOS Sound.

Ideal for small to medium sized rooms, such as bedrooms, offices or kitchens. This compact but full-featured speaker plays cloud music, music stored on your phone or tablet, plus USB and NAS sources, too. Now you can even play content through Bluetooth. Meaning you have options.

It also features a carefully designed blend of two custom full-range drivers and a two-channel class D amplifier, all controlled with state-of-the-art digital signal processing that was born in the recording studio. Translated from the tech: these small, powered speakers produce big, clear sound from highly tested, recording studio-grade engineering with support for high resolution audio.

USB Drives Supported HEOS 3 supports USB thumb drives via the built-in USB port. Music content on a USB drive can be played back locally, or on any or all HEOS players on your network.
“Availability of music services may vary by region. Not all services may be available at time of purchase. Some services may be added or discontinued from time to time based on decisions of the music service providers or others. Visit www.HEOSbyDenon.com for announcements and details.”

Amazing Sound !!I was really excited when my Heos speaker arrived. The speaker is a nice size but not so big that it would take up too much space. The speaker can also be placed both horizontally or vertically . The set up was pretty simple though I did have some minor issues with the App where I had to delete and re-download it. It took several minutes for the whole process but it was definitely worth it. The sound quality was amazing. Very crisp quality. My first thought was this would be perfect for a party. I also liked the fact that I could control the speaker from my phone from changing songs to the volume. This speaker is amazing and I would recommend it .

Unreliable systemHad a full HEOS system (AVR-X4300H, HEOS-3 speakers, and HEOS Link) installed by Best Buy Geek Squad. Plenty of trouble on installation and setup including multiple attempts to load receiver software. Now, HEOS-3 speakers refuse to group with AVR and each other, and will play media sometimes but not all. Unplayable media includes CD, radio, internet streaming, iPhone content. Enormously frustrating experience. I'm about ready to return all equipment. However, when it works, the sound is fabulous. But this equipment should work out of the box and have high reliability.

Powerful sound from a relatively small unitThis is a good speaker. Requires a few minutes of setup to connect to your device, but works fine once connected.
I think it could benefit from an on/off button for those who dont want it left on permanently. Also, I understand that its a powerful unit so I see why its not battery powered, though it would be amazing if it had a battery pack to take on the go as an option as well.

Amazing Sound and Unique DesignWe are loving our HEOS 3 speaker. Has a unique design that can work horizontally or vertically. This is the smallest of the HEOS speakers, and it works wonderfully for amazing sound in 1 room, and with the way my floorplan is I can listen 3 rooms over. I have my speaker in my kitchen, and has excellent bass response for it's size. The App is also user friendly, and works well with other music services apps. The App was so easy to set up.I am also impressed by the list of service apps that work with this speaker. If you are looking for a great home speaker for one room or multiple rooms then look no further. This is a great find, and we are really pleased with it. I love the way it looks in my kitchen. The design of it allows for several different display options.

Software Flaws Prevent a 5 Star ReviewThe actual hardware, the speakers are great. The software which runs the system needs some improvement. Speakers will randomly disconnect and stop. Usually you have to unplug them and get it back going, and then restart your source; about a 4-5 minute fix. Maybe they need completely new software people because this review page randomly refreshes and I lose what I have written. It took 3 times just to get this in.

Great Sound!I love my Heos system and I am really happy to see how Denon is expanding the echo system. The 3 is a great speaker for smaller rooms with excellent sound quality. Step up to the five for anything larger than an average bedroom. The Heos app is not bad, but it good use some design improvements to make the whole experience perfect.

Surprising sound quality for its size.Both the Android and Apple apps were easy to set up and use. It's compatible with a personal music collection as well as streaming music apps such as Pandora and iHeart Radio, which are built right into the HEOS app. The speaker has a built-in USB port that enables you to play even more of your music collection than you have stored on your phone. The speaker can be heard in other rooms in an average size house. Additionally, it has separate bass and treble adjustments to tailor the sound to the type of music you are listening to. A nice improvement would be a pause feature instead of the mute button that is located directly on the speaker so that you do not miss any music when forced to interrupt play. I was unable to connect to a hidden network after setting it up because I could not find the option to type in a network name (SSID) manually; it only brings up the ones it can find, not hidden networks. Outside of this minor issue, the app is quite user friendly, and I am extremely satisfied with the performance and quality of this speaker!!

Q&A
- HEOS 3

Will I be able to play music from my Sony MP3 player connected through the USB port?

Asked by: Stella

Hello Stella,
You can use a USB stick to play music through the HEOS 3. If you have a Sony MP3 player that may not work. You could try it but it has to be formatted to FAT32. You should be able to use a auxiliary from the Sony to the HEOS3.
1 Insert a FAT32 formatted USB device into the USB port
on the back of the HEOS speaker.
2 Select &ldquo;USB Music&rdquo; from the &ldquo;Music&rdquo; tab.
3 Select the name of your HEOS speaker.
4 Browse the music on your USB device and select
something to play.

If connected via bluetooth can I still play sound from two speakers at the same time? &nbsp;Or is this only possible when connected via wifi?

Asked by: rfv22

Your Bluetooth device most likely can only stream to one device at a time. In order to play a single Bluetooth stream on multiple speakers, they would have to be connected to the network ,and grouped together using the HEOS app.

Which HEOS speakers will work best as surrounds with the HEOS AVR?

Asked by: RIcky

Hi Ricky. The great thing is that you can use a pair of any HEOS speaker (both must be the same model) as your surround channels with the HEOS AVR. The bigger the speaker, the bigger the sound. The HEOS 3 is a great choice for this purpose as it has a nice balanced sound and stands vertical to fit comfortably where most standard satellite speakers would fit. Either way, when you set it up there will be an option to be &quot;Optimized for HEOS AVR&quot; which will take the guess work out of the equation and set the speakers up to sound the best in a surround configuration with the HEOS AVR. Thanks!

My light flashes green but never goes solid.How do I get past this?

Asked by: Janet

Hello Janet I am sorry your facing this issue. If your router has a WPS button you could press that then the Connect button on your speaker 3 times in a row within 2 seconds of each press. Another option would be to connect your speaker directly to the router then go into the settings menu in the HEOS app and then go to My Devices, then Your speaker, then change from Wired to your Wifi network.
